Chapter 66 The Beginning of Curiosity
Seeing that Zhang Xiaozhi thought that the price he quoted was too low, Li Jisheng took a sip of tea and said: "Director Zhang, your company owes almost 3 billion in debt. After we, Xingdong Pictures, bought out the movie, we still have to spend 3 billion."
To pay off the debt, this is equivalent to the fact that we, Xingdong Film and Television, spent 310 million to buy Light Film and Television."
"Our industry is also in a recession now. I'm afraid no company is willing to spend more than 3 billion to buy a half-dead video playback website."
Today's film and television companies basically produce both content and channels. For example, Shimei and Luying have their own video playback websites. There is no need for them to buy another website. Of course, if Film and Television alone does not owe so much money,
There will definitely be people willing to take over, but they really owe too much.
Zhang Xiaozhi smiled bitterly and said: "That's what I say, but our average monthly active users are still around 200 million, so we still have potential."
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, Light Movies has a video website that has been around for more than ten years. Although there are no new users coming in, there are still many old users. If enough high-quality content comes in, it can still develop.
"Director Zhang, you should know very well that among the 200 million monthly active users of Guangzhou Film and Television, many of them are cross-users of the video playback website of our parent company, Road Film Group. These cross-users are useless to us.
What we need are new users.”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaozhi thought to himself: It seems that the price cannot be high.
"Mr. Li, ten million is too little. Even if I agree, other people in our company won't agree. Do you think the price can be a little higher?"
Li Jisheng said earnestly: "Director Zhang, it's not that I don't want to give you a better price, it's that I really can't do anything. You and I graduated from the same school. We are not only alumni, but also from the same class. I can help you a little bit."
That’s what it should be.”
"But our chairman has said that the price for acquiring Optical Film and Television cannot exceed 10 million. Ten million is already the highest price I can give."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaozhi showed a thoughtful expression. Of course he knew that this was Li Jisheng's excuse to lower the price, but the film and television industry alone was at the end of its rope. If he didn't find a "dad" quickly, the company would have no employees left.
There is no way to pay wages, and the state does not allow bankruptcy liquidation.
But the shareholders of their company would definitely not agree if they sold the former leader of video websites at a bargain price of 10 million.
After thinking about it seriously, Zhang Xiaozhi stood up and said, "Mr. Li, the price you gave is too low. I have to go back and discuss it with the shareholders to see if they agree."
Li Jisheng also stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, our door to Xingdong Film and Television is open to you at any time."
After the two shook hands, Zhang Xiaozhi left Li Jisheng's office. Looking at his leaving figure, Li Jisheng showed a smile.
What is the state of light, film and television today? Everyone knows that there is almost no capital willing to get involved in this muddy water.
The previous chairman of Guang Film and Television ruined the entire company. Who would dare to take over this deal? If it were not for the expansion strategy of Road Film Group, they would not even negotiate with Guang Film and Television. They would have given them a symbolic 10 million.
I think highly of them.
Thinking of Zhang Xiaozhi's current predicament, Li Jisheng felt very lucky. No matter how fast Zhang Xiaozhi climbed up, he didn't choose the right company and ended up in this miserable state.
On the way back, Zhang Xiaozhi kept sighing. Now there is no capital coming in, and no one is willing to pay high prices to acquire them. Their company has no money to develop new business.
In addition, the content resources are getting less and less. He doesn't know whether this company has a future, but he knows that if it drags on like this, his future may also be delayed on this company. As the company's former second-in-command, he doesn't know.
, today’s No. 1 figure, let alone the company does not allow him to resign, the country does not allow him to resign.
Thinking of his tragic fate, Zhang Xiaozhi sighed and said to himself: "Oh, please come and save me!"
…
Three days later.
Today is the day to record songs. Lu Chen came to Yueyin early in the morning. In the past three days, Yueyin Company has recorded the accompaniment. Shi Yin only needs to sing.
After Lu Chen came to Yueyin, he stood outside the recording studio waiting for Shiyin. Shiyin often slept in, so he made a special call to her last night and asked her to get up early today. She agreed quickly.
, even though I know I can’t afford it.
Not long after, Shi Yin and Tong Huan appeared in the distance. They were talking as they walked, as if they were discussing something.
"Huanhuan, don't tell Lu Chen about this yet, okay?" Shi Yin reminded.
Hearing Shiyin's reminder, Tong Huan asked doubtfully: "Why?"
Recently, there was an audition for a spokesperson in Hwaseong. The brand is called Angel's Yuyi, or Tianyu for short. Tianyu is a well-known brand in China. If you can get their endorsement, it will definitely be of great benefit to Shiyin, and the money will be great.
Although she doesn't make much money, Tianyu's advertisements are always on TV, which increases her chances of appearing in the public eye. Many beautiful female stars don't need works. Wherever you go, there are many
Tap powder, after all, most men are monkeys.
Moreover, Shiyin is a traffic star with works, so he is more popular than those traffic stars without works.
Shiyin is bound to get Tianyu's endorsement.
"This guy always thinks that I am where I am today because of him. Let's see what he says when I get Tianyu's endorsement!" Shiyin said.
After Shi Yin found out that Lu Chen had released a song under his own name, Shi Yin became a lot more sensitive. She thought that Lu Chen was deliberately leaving her to go it alone. This Lu Chen must have thought that she had been taking advantage of his resources.
, so I left the company and went it alone.
Lu Chen thought so. As a strong woman, how could she not prove herself?
Tong Huan thought for a while and said, "But Director Lu said he didn't have this idea?"
Shiyin said angrily: "A man's mouth is a liar. Who knows what he thinks."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If we talk about it, we'll get angry."
After meeting Lu Chen, Shi Yin said with a smile on his face: "Lu Chen, you came so early!"
Seeing this scene, Tong Huan sighed in his heart: He is indeed a professional actor! It only takes a moment to change his mood. Just now he was complaining angrily to Lu Chen, but now he is smiling like an angel.
Seeing Shi Yin's smiling face, Lu Chen thought doubtfully: This guy took the wrong medicine and actually smiled at himself.
Shi Yin said at this time: "I heard Su Yue say that you wrote such a sad song because you broke up with your ex-girlfriend."
Having said this, Shi Yin patted Lu Chen on the shoulder, acting like a big brother.
"Lu Chen, you can't be so depressed. There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly?"
After the words fell, Shi Yin walked up behind Tong Huan, then pushed Tong Huan forward and said, "Look, our Huanhuan is so beautiful, so cute, and has a delicate body that is easy to push over. She is definitely suitable for you.
"
When Shi Yin said this, Tong Huan blushed instantly.
Lu Chen was speechless. How could this Su Yue be so boring? He just talked casually, and she told Shi Yin about it.
"I was joking with Su Yue, but she took it seriously." Lu Chen turned around and said.
Hearing this, Shiyin was stunned.
"Are you kidding? Really?" Shiyin asked suspiciously.
When the album was released, Shi Yin vaguely felt that Lu Chen was a person with a story. After all, the songs he wrote were so sad. This time, Lu Chen released some sad songs, especially that one.
It's like Lu Chen's autobiography.
Coupled with what Lu Chen said to Su Yue, Shiyin became even more convinced that there must be a touching love story behind Lu Chen. This made Shiyin curious about Lu Chen and full of interest in the story behind Lu Chen.
What kind of love story is it that allowed Lu Chen to write so many high-quality songs that express his feelings?
Men with stories can often inspire women's curiosity best, and curiosity is the beginning of everything.
